Abstract
A vacuum dusting attachment including a semi-flexible, elongated, thin, flat cleaning portion for tight spaces having multiple dust collecting chambers and aperture openings for equalizing and maximizing vacuum suction, light elements for improving visual efficiency, side edge brushes for loosening dust and increased dust capture, and a detachable, microfiber mesh cover for the cleaning portion for dust capture and retention; and a connected swivel handle portion including an ergonomically designed cushioned hand portion with soft raised ridges and bumps for non-slippage. An additional independent accordion hose extension vacuum attachment for use with aforesaid dusting attachment or other devices is provided, manufactured to withstand vacuum suction so as to retain desired lengths and bends to reach distant target areas, increasing flexibility when handling an attached dusting attachment, while collapsing for less space, and including a grip disk at one end, and an ergonomic handle on an opposite end, both for handling while in the act of extending, collapsing, and bending.
